The latest fancy from Paris is lit
tie pompon Of crisp tulle. from which
rises heron's plumes. to be worn in
the hair with dancing toilets.
The newest cloaks for little girls have
waists reaching only to the arm-pits.
more like a deep yoke than waist
and skirts falling to the ankles.
Plated fronts to basques are worn by
persons who have very slender figures,
even in the heaviest velvet materials.
They have two plaits at the top of the
shoulders next the collar, and then
draw to the middle. becoming plain at
the waist line.
The new cover coats for young girls
have the high. military collars fastened
with little irregular-shaped strap, that
is loose and buttons to a large button
on either side of the collar.
For wear in wet weather are shown
silk rubber-cloth long wraps, with sling
sleeves. These are in indefinite plaids.
with the prevailing color shades of dark
blue, red, green, brown and tan.
The tendency in draperies is to make
them long and full and quite dissimilar
to any thing hitherto fashionable. These
draperies have heavy, pointed fan
folds and very little looping. The eff
feet is obtained by the varying length
of the points in which the drapery
hangs rather than by loops. These
modes are seen with plain skirts and
large tournure.
Instead of folds or frills in the neck
and sleeves, mOdistes now send home
each dress waist finished off with rib
bons, which may be white or in direct
contrast with the dress material. such
as rose-pink in moss-green dresses.
or red, or orange in those of dark blue.
The gauze ribbons, with lOoped or
picot edges, are used. They are folded
over not quite double so that both the
fancy edges will show just above the
collar of the dress.
All the French waists show an effort
to make the shoulders as high and
square and the waist as long and slim
as possible. This effect is gained by y
shirring across the chest and on the
shoulder seams, and the fullness drawn
down as far as possible to the waist
and there shirred more closely again.
This gives the slim effect seen in French
fashion plates. and while giving an i'm
proved slenderness and grace to thin,
angular figures, hides all the pretty
curves of good ones.
The tailor gowns Of dark copper red.
trimmed with the same shade of plush
are worn to afternoon teas by young wo-
men with small red velvet turbans with
out brim, and adorned with gray or
brown wings and breasts of birds. The
heads are not used. With these are
worn with lovely effect breast knots of
pink roses. For carriage wear red be-
comes more and more popular. Sever
al dark red suits are shown with trim
mings of black mink, and bonnets of
red velvet and jet.
For wear to the theaters by those
ladies who are prepared to adopt the
English fashion of appearing without
bonnets, are shown little Marie Stuart
colts of silk and plush, the face being
surrounded by pearl beads matching
the hue of the Golf. Attached to it is a
long scarf of surah that is drawn
around the throat. These can be worn
without disarranging the hair and
thrown off and on more easily than
lace scarf, while thoroughly protecting
the head and throat from the night air.
